After breakfast, for unspecified intentions, Queenie took the initiative and stood up. "Grandpa, do you remember that your beloved Sally said that she was going to dance for you yesterday?"

Sally's hand that was gripping the cutleries froze instantly.

Oh no! Oh no! She knew that she was not going to escape that easily!

Grandpa smiled and stroked his beard. "It seems that she had indeed said such a thing."

Queenie smiled a little. "I felt really bad for what I did to Mrs. Moses yesterday. After thinking about what I did yesterday, I wanted to make it up to Mrs. Moses.

"That was why I got some people to set up a small stage in the backyard so that all of us would be able to enjoy Mrs. Moses's dancing.”

Sally, "..."

Grandpa laughed out loud. "How kind of you, Queenie!”

"Queenie, from what I recall, you’re a pretty good dancer yourself, right?"

Jill stood up and said with a smile, "Seems like all of the women seated here are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

    After Jill finished her dance, a few other girls performed.One did a latin dance, one did a samba dance, and another played the violin.Sally was so nervous that her calves started shaking.‘These... These people are really talented!’Compared to them, she looked like an amateur…She did not look like she had the slightest bit of skill and expertise as she had earlier boasted.Soon, it was Queenie’s turn.The stage was dark.Suddenly, amidst the smoky mist and spotlight, Queenie who was wearing a traditional costume, started waving her long sleeves and danced.Sally stared blankly.‘Her dancing is almost... better than Evonne’s!’She took a deep breath and then another. In addition to admiration, there was also a sense of desolation and dread inside of her.‘Fine, let me just embarrass myself this one time…’After Queenie finished her dance, thunderous applause rang out from the audience.Bennet exclaimed, "Queenie's dancing is getting better and better. I might even say

    The music, the dance, together with the pink rabbit mascot had an indescribable comedic and hilarious effect.Old Master Tate took the lead and laughed. "How creative! Very creative!"Bennet also nodded. "This kind of mascot costume is very tiring on the wearer. She seems to be putting her heart and soul into this.”Everyone in the audience also laughed.Through the small hole in the mascot costume, Sally could see Elijah give her a thumbs up in the audience.That was when the girl jumped harder.After the dance, Sally was sweating profusely in the mascot costume.Everyone in the audience was also laughing to the point where they were exhausted.The atmosphere on and off the stage was very lively."Thank you, everyone."Sally panted through the mascot clothes and said, "I'll be leaving the stage.”“Wait!”Jill stood up, took the microphone and spoke coldly, "Can the person on stage take off your headgear?"If you don't take it off, how would we know whether you’re actually

    Jill's facial expressions changed right after hearing Grandpa's words. She frowned and was just about to stand up to refute when Queenie calmly said, "I suppose I’ve misunderstood Mrs. Moses.""Mrs. Moses said she wanted to dance for Grandpa, so I just thought that since there are many of us here, it’d be too embarrassing to have only Mrs. Moses dancing for Grandpa. That’s why I set up a stage so that everyone could perform for Grandpa and delight him."I didn't expect Mrs. Moses to have planned to perform it in Grandpa's living room by herself and that she didn't want us to accompany her."Even though her remark sounded fine on the surface, the women who were present immediately felt somewhat uncomfortable.‘Yeah. There are so many of us here, why should Sally be the only one performing in someone's living room?’‘She wants to please Old Master Tate? Don't we all?’‘Why does she think she’s the only one who deserves this privilege?’Bennet frowned. After all, Queenie had lived

    Old Master Tate clapped excitedly. “Well then, let’s have them teach you!” Then, he narrowed his eyes and asked, “I’ve got a question for you. Which performance was your favorite?” Sally was stunned. She knew that she had to be careful not to offend anyone. However, she was not scared. After all, she had an amazing memory. Besides, it had not been for no reason that she had managed to get every elderly person to like her after the years she had spent in the countryside! Thus, the girl smiled and said, “Honestly, I would like to learn them all.” “Miss White’s Latin dance performance was so elegant. It’s a shame that I don’t have a figure like hers. If my figure were half as good as hers, I would definitely learn from her!” That one sentence was enough to make Miss White, who had just been looking at her indignantly, raise her eyebrows in slight surprise. “Meanwhile, Miss Zeller’s samba transported me to a whole new, exotic place. However, my motor skills aren’t as finely

    “How did you know to say that on stage?” When the performance ended, Elijah had Pierre put the bunny costume away as he posed the question nonchalantly. They had not rehearsed the conversation that had happened onstage beforehand. Not even Elijah had expected his silly little wife to speak that way onstage. She had not offended anyone and even praised Queenie Tate, who had been mocking her all the while. Sally smiled as she wiped her sweat away with a wet wipe. “I don’t know. I just spoke what came to mind.” When she finished changing, the girl took the ice cream he had offered her and smiled as she bit into it and said, “I don’t know why, but Old Master Tate strikes me as a kind person, and I think of my grandma every time I see him. Because of this, I feel relaxed whenever I see him and speak whatever comes to mind.” Elijah narrowed his eyes. “Is that so?” “Yes.” Sally nodded. “To be honest, I’m at my dumbest whenever I’m with strangers.” “Think of it, Hubby. I’m ta

    If he was not mistaken, the younger man’s voice belonged to Zane Larson, the man who had been calling Sally “bunny” these few days. At that moment, Zane was flicking through the information Daniel had brought to him. “Maybe his real name isn’t even Shawn Levin.” “Shawn.” Zane narrowed his eyes. “Look up anyone who’s called Shawn when you get back.” “Yes sir…” Daniel spoke humbly to gain favor. “Mr. Larson, do you mind if I ask why it is necessary to investigate this person?“I might be able to make more pointed inquiries if you gave me a few more details…” “You don’t need to know that.” Zane’s usually friendly voice was now tinged with coolness. “All you need to know is that this is a direct order from me.” Daniel did not give up although he had not succeeded. “Well then, Mr. Larson, about that payment your father mentioned before…“I’m under attack. My nephew is learning from his father and is back to suppressing me again. Your father said he would take care of it…”

    Warm sunlight peeked through the blinds the next morning. Sally opened her eyes blearily. Her body ached all over. Propping herself up in bed, she grabbed her phone to take a look at the time. Holy sh*t, it was already past 10! The girl dragged her aching body out of bed as she cursed at Elijah under her breath… He had not stopped his fun even after midnight had passed! And he refused to listen even when she sobbed and told him to remember that they were not at home. They were in the Tate household! The girl dragged her aching body out of bed and freshened herself before slowly making her way out of bed. “Yo, the bunny’s awake!” She was greeted with the sound of a man mocking her the minute she stepped out of the room. Startled, she instinctively turned towards the source of the sound. And was greeted with the sight of Zane lounging lazily on the sofa in their guest bedroom, munching on peanuts as he watched a Korean drama. It was as if this was not Sally and Elij

    “You might as well have just called me dumb and foolish.” Sally pursed her lips. She appreciated what Zane had said about her aunt and uncle. “It’s true that my aunt and uncle are good people.” “However, they’re just a couple of honest farmers from the countryside. You wouldn’t know them even if I told you their names, so it’s better that you don’t ask!” She smiled and waved at him. “Goodbye! Remember to tell Grandpa that I enjoyed the pastries!” Then, the girl sat back down on the sofa and turned her back toward him. “Blair, where did your big bro go?” “My big bro… has gone to a business meeting…” Zane shook his head and turned around to leave. When he delivered the pastry box to the main house and returned to his guest room, Jill was waiting for him. Arms crossed, she leaned against the door and asked, “You’ve been gone for the whole morning. Managed to get a conversation going with your bunny?” Zane smiled as he entered the room and sat down on the sofa. “I’ve finish

    ————One year later. The wedding of Zoey Williams, president of Yoder Corporation, and Thomas Yoder, the young master of the Moses family, was held at A City’s grandest hotel. On the wedding day, Zoey wore a gorgeous wedding gown as she walked over to Thomas. She raised her head and smiled at him. “When I was a kid, Freya always said that I would have to marry her brother when I grew up.” “However, I realized that I did not like Elijah. I much preferred Sis Sally.” “Who would have thought that at the end of the day, I would still end up marrying Freya’s younger brother. As per her wishes, I’ll be taking care of her brother forever, and allowing her brother to care for me for the rest of my life.” Thomas smiled as he pulled her into his arms. “My beloved ZZ, I finally get to marry you.” Freya, carrying Frigg and sitting with the rest of the family, turned to exchange smiles with Bennett. The wedding was joyful and romantic. Everyone attending basked in the loving atmosp

    “If you destroy everything I have, then I’ll destroy everything you have!” Queenie gritted her teeth, a hideous expression on her face as she glared at Sally and said, “If it weren’t for you, I would still be the high-and-mighty young lady of the Tate family!” “It’s all because of you that I became nearly a stand-in for you. I’ve enjoyed many years of lavish treatment at the lavish family, but I was discarded unceremoniously into the dust!” “Sally Summers, it’s all your fault! Everything is because of you!” “I won’t forgive you even if I become a ghost!” “Alright then, go be a ghost!” Elijah narrowed his eyes and raised a hand to grip Queenie’s chin. The hatred in his eyes caused Queenie to smile. “Elijah Moses, choke me to death if you have the guts to do so!” “If you can’t choke me to death, I have multiple ways to make life miserable for you!” “Your sister is just one part of my plan!” “You probably don’t know this yet.” Her lips curled upwards into a bloodthir

    The woman lying in bed frowned and said in a weak, hoarse voice, “You are…” “I’m the woman who did it for a long time with your husband.” She sat down on a nearby chair and watched gleefully as the woman’s face turned increasingly paler. “You have a pretty bad memory, Mrs. Lucca.” “We just met the other day.” She shook her head as she spoke. “It makes sense, though. It’s only normal that a half-dead person would not have a great memory.” “Forgive me for being blunt, Mrs. Lucca. President Lucca told me that you don’t have many days left.” “When you’re gone, he’s going to leave his daughter and marry me.” The woman lying in bed turned pale as she shook her head and said, “Impossible… That’s impossible…” “Quincy, he…” “Nothing is impossible.” Queenie continued smiling a gleeful and flaunting smile. She threw her pregnancy test strip onto the woman’s face. “Look, I’m pregnant.” “How could I have gotten pregnant if we only did it one time? Such coincidences don’t exi

    “In your dreams!” Quincy gritted his teeth together tightly. “I wouldn’t want you even if every other woman on the planet was dead!” The woman on the other end of the line laughed lightly. “You’re going to abandon your child because Freya Moses is dead?” “You planted your seed in my stomach.” Quincy gritted his teeth and was about to continue arguing when Elijah gave him a look. Quincy pursed his lips. “So, what do you want?” “Let’s meet up.” Queenie yawned. “Can you pick a place?” “There’s a cafe nearby the hospital.” Quincy sighed. “I don’t have much time for you, so don’t try talking nonsense after we meet.”“What a man you are, trying to ghost someone after you’ve slept with them.” The woman shrugged nonchalantly. “Alright. You can wait for me. I’ll be there soon.” She hung up. Quincy pursed his lips and looked up at Elijah. “Why do you want me to meet her?” “You’ve got to have some bait if you want to trap someone.” “This time, Quincy, you’re the bait.

    The sharp end of the knife sank into Quincy’s skin. Intense pain came, but he did not seem to feel a thing as he continued pushing. Suddenly, a large, strong, and dry hand took hold of him. Quincy frowned as he tried to continue forcing the knife in, but he could not exert any more strength. Elijah’s cold voice rang beside his ear. “Do you feel like my sister will live on for much longer if you die before her eyes?” “Have you ever thought about how much she likes you and how important you are to her?” Stunned, Quincy turned instinctively to look at Freya. The woman was sobbing controllably. As she gazed tearfully at him, it seemed that she had multiple things she wanted to say but could not find the words. Tears flowed once more from Quincy’s eyes. Ignoring the blood flowing from his chest, he dashed over to Freya and held her tightly. “It’s my fault.” “It’s all my fault!” “Freya… I can’t live without you.” “I cannot… I…” Freya could not stop herself from wr

    After Freya was hospitalized, Quincy canceled all his work plans and spent all his time in the hospital watching over her. Although she never let him in, and although he could only ever gaze at her through the window from afar. However, he insisted on not taking even a step away from her ward. He stood guard there stubbornly, and no one could talk any sense into him. Both Elijah and Thomas could not bring themselves to chide or drive Quincy away when he acted this way. And thus, Freya finally agreed to meet him on the seventh day. The woman’s face in the ward was pale, and she was considerably thinner than from before hospitalization. She looked extremely haggard. Tears welled in Quincy’s eyes when he saw what his beloved looked like from a close distance. It was all his fault. It was all his fault! He had caused her to end up this way! All because of him!“Is there anything you would like to say?” Freya leaned against her pillows. Eyes shut, she seemed to have

    Sally’s lips pursed themselves together when Freya’s name was mentioned. She would admit that she had had a horrible first impression of Freya when they first met. The woman had stripped nearly twenty years of Zoey’s life away from her. Even now, Zoey still bore the scars she had inflicted upon her on her face. And she had even attacked Sally’s mother during her and Elijah’s wedding. However, times had changed, and five years had passed since then. Sally could not bring herself to be cruel toward Freya, who now showed complete remorse. Additionally, she had treated Sam and Little Sarah with genuine kindness lately. Sally had begun to think of her as family. Yet, now, something like this happened. She sighed. “Freya…” “Freya will not be in great condition when she regains consciousness. You need to prepare yourself mentally.” Freya’s illness was in her heart. The sort of illness she had made it so that she could not be made angry, excited, or frantic. If not, not e

    Evonne and Sally were slurping instant noodles when Elijah and Thomas arrived at the doctor’s on-call room. They were starving and had virtually no energy left. The only thing in the room they could use to fill their stomachs was instant noodles. When the door opened, Elijah frowned slightly when he saw his petite wife steadily making her way through a pack of instant noodles. The man strode over and grabbed her bowl. “Unhealthy stuff.” Sally had been enjoying herself and raised her head angrily when her instant noodles were taken away. “I don’t care if it’s not nutritious! I’m hungry… Hubby?” The emotions in the woman’s eyes turned from anger to shock, and then to surprise! Reaching out her arms, she encircled Elijah’s neck and jumped into his arms. “You’re back!” “I missed you so much!” He had been on his ocean trip for more than half a month. They had never been separated for so long since getting back together. The signal on the sea was spotty, and she could never

    When Sally finished suturing the last ruptured blood vessel in Freya’s heart, she was starving, exhausted, and had little to no energy left. Evonne, who was beside her, was not much better off. “It’s steady! The patient’s heartbeat is steady again!” The nurse staring at the electrocardiograph yelled out excitedly! Given the condition the patient was in, if it weren’t for these two doctors, they would never have been able to save her! “Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner are amazing!” “Of course.” A senior doctor standing nearby smiled as he stroked his beard and said, “How did you think Dr. Summers earned her title of genius surgeon?” The young nurse’s mouth widened in surprise. “In that case… why are Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner no longer working as doctors?” The senior doctor sighed. “I guess they have their reasons…” In another corner, Evonne leaned against the wall, exhausted as she turned to look at Sally. “Dr. Summers, do you still plan to stay on as a housewife?” Sa
